YIKES! Get out of my head Larry. g

I was going to post this same thought last night. It was late and I didn't
want to do any more searching - I tried a quick (weak) Google search for
GPIII and came up with nothing solid - then went to bed.

He was a little down of late ...then he sold his Maul and was even more
down. He had one or two days, there, where it sounded like he was standing
out on the ledge - typing.

Hope he's doing well. Spring is here - even in NJ.

Maybe, after all of these years, he FINALLY succumbed to the power that is
Television.

Assuming for the moment he's not just on extended hiatus...

There's a variety of reasons he wouldn't say goodbye. For example, perhaps
he got sick of the constant bickering and contentious nature of the
newsgroup. As we've seen with other posters who have left, explaining that
sort of reason is usually met with a fresh crop of (usually unfair) "don't
let the door hit your ass on the way out" kinds of replies.

Whatever the situation, only George himself knows the answer. If you want
an actual answer, you should probably send HIM email. Posting here is
unlikely to provide the information you seek.

He did say goodbye.
It was about the same time Roger Long made his announcement.
Georges's was just a simple statement along the same line of reasoning
as Roger's.

He did? I must've missed that.

I just got an email from George, asking for Paul Sengupta's (another
former regular poster) email address. Paul has just been too darned
busy flying the wings off of his Bulldog to post -- George...has just
gone AWOL.

We are diminished without them.

Paul was actually in the States, hence no posting. He was here in DC
and then took off for Sun-n-Fun. We had a lovely dinner with him and
one of his buddies from England in late March. I assume he will show up
shortly as Sun-n-Fun is over and I think he was going home after that.

If he sold his airplane, that might explain it.

I believe he's still posting in other newsgroups.

I guess it missed it. Thanks.

Along the same lines, what ever happened to Mike Rappoport?
